Novak Djokovic was pushed to play more than five hours by Felix Auger-Aliassime before the seven-time Wimbledon champion prevailed 7-6 (10), 3-6, 6-3, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (4) on Tuesday to set up a semifinal against defending champion Jannik Sinner.
It was the longest quarterfinal in Wimbledon history, the tournament said.
“These,” the 39-year-old Djokovic said, “are the kind of moments that I still play tennis for.”
